Ensi kaudella jopa kahdeksan rengasseosta?
Pirelli could produce up to eight different Formula 1 tyre compounds in 2018 instead of the five it has used up to now, in order to provide greater flexibility.
A final decision will be made after the last development test for next season's tyres, with McLaren drivers Stoffel Vandoorne and Lando Norris running at Interlagos next week.
Pirelli wants to expand its range in order to ensure that teams can choose from three viable tyres at every event.
.
Isola said the final size of the range is still open for debate.
"It's in between five and eight. It could be more. It's not because I don't want to tell you what is the number.
"Five is the number we had this year. It's also true that the hard compound was never used – it was used in Barcelona, then we decided not to use it again.
"Next year, moving one step on the soft side, we will have a range that is more usable, including the [new] hard, so we'll have five compounds that are usable.
"To have more flexibility we want to increased this range, and this is the reason why probably we are going to homologate more than five."
